We love leaves. Specifically, leaves of the Indian Almond Tree, Terminalia catappa.
Of course, we figured that you kind of know that already.
These trees are found throughout the world, specifically in tropical locales, such as Asia, Africa, and Australia. Well, not all Catappa leaves are the same! These have an awesome story behind them!
My good friend, Jake Adams, Sr. Editor of the wildly popular marine aquarium hobby blog, Reef Builders, recently spent some time on a coral farm in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, where these trees are abundant on the property. As one of he aquarium world's most diversified and talented "watermen" (he keeps both marine and freshwater animals at a very high level), things like Catappa leaves don't escape his view. He's an obsessive aquarist, with a great appreciation for natural systems and aquatic diversity. he's also a dear friend, and knew my obsession with them as well! (click to read more)
